Abstract

This study examines the theological foundations of koinonia as a missional framework that transcends traditional evangelistic approaches within Pentecostal theology. Through hermeneutical analysis and phenomenological methodology, this research examines how Pentecostal communities in Indonesia can foster interfaith friendships while maintaining theological integrity. The study argues that koinonia provides a robust theological foundation for mission that emphasizes relational transformation, rather than solely focusing on religious conversion, particularly in Indonesia's pluralistic context.
